Keswick is within 3 miles and has a varied array of independent shops, eateries and galleries all on the banks of Lake Derwentwater. Take an underground tour at Honister Slate Mine, 14 miles away, and tackle the Via Ferrata, or try the Catbells Lakeland Walk, 5 miles away.

Making the most of the beautiful surroundings, the living room is located on the first floor, with windows to all sides offering views to the Skiddaw range and the Coledale fells.

Cottage was beautiful with everything you need, Braithwaite is a great location , walks from the door , Keswick just down the road by car or bus, the only problem I had was parking, there was not much room to manoeuvre and when someone stayed in the next door cottage , ( the space was adjacent) i didnt attempt to get in my space, I could park at thRead moree church close by so did this instead, this was the only issue in what was a great week Hide

We've stayed twice now and booked again, so we obviously think it's great. The cleaners do a really great job, and everything works as expected now that a new fridge has been installed. There are always some things that you can nick-pic at, but these are very minor points overall because the property and the location are 5 stars from us. Parking miRead moreght be challenging for some, as it's best to reverse down a long, narrow drive. Mattress beds & pillows aren't the best, but ok. Hide

Great position, nice upstairs lounge to make the most of stunning views. 5 mins walk to either of local pubs. Recently renovated and exceptionally clean and warm. Parking for one car and the space is rather tight; easy enough to find additional parking close by.

Cannot recommend enough. Superb location with lots of walks from the doorstep. Hourly bus to Keswick which only takes 10 minutes. Went to both local pubs for food which were both very nice. Cottage itself is well equipped, very comfortable and spacious. Dog friendly and outdoor area to sit in the sun if you are lucky with the weather like we were.
